I know they are very very generous.....:)

I'm not sure if you've made your decision yet since your post is a couple months old, but just thought I'd chime in...

Scholarship-wise, SC is quite generous, although I think it's probably easier to get a scholarship (directly from the University, that is) as a freshman rather than a transfer. Your best bet is probably to apply for a private scholarship. The admissions counselors at SC should be able to point you to a few private scholarships, grants, and even some school scholarships.

As for the GPA, a 4.0 definitely helps your admission. Since SC is a private school, usually GPA is not as big of an issue, but a higher one is always a good thing. I would recommend putting together a really sharp portfolio, since they will want to see examples of your work. They may also require you to take a summer studio course at SC before you join the fall class to make sure you're on the same page as the rest of the students. When I was at SC, transfers were usually placed in 2nd year if they transfered from a 2-year college, but since you are coming from a university, the policy may be different. I was there several years ago, so the requirements may have changed since then anyways. If you have any specific questions, I am in contact with several of the professors there, so I can pass your questions along to get an off the record response if you'd like.

Hope that helps.
